Ingredients
- 15 oz dried hominy
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 teaspoons salt fine ground
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Add dried hominy to a large bowl. Fill with water so that the hominy is covered with at least 1-2 inches of water. Let soak for 6-10 hrs.
- Drain hominy into a colander or strainer and shake off excess liquid. On a paper towel lined rimmed baking sheet, spread out hominy. Gently pat the top with another paper towel or clean kitchen linen to remoe excesss water. Set out to dry for about an hour. You can also set in the sun to speed up process.
- Pre-heat oven to either 375° convection or 400° regular bake.
- Meanwhile, add your salt and spices to a small jar or bowl and mix well.
- Once dried, add hominy to a large bowl. Drizzle peanut oil on top and stir well. Add salt mixture about a 1/2 - 1 teaspoon at a time. Mix well after each addition. Repeat until all hominy is well coated.
- Wipe the baking sheet dry and then add hominy. Spread out into an even layer and add to oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes and then gently stir. Return to oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, being sure to check throughout the last 5 minutes for burning (40 min total for regular bake).
- Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Enjoy!

- Peanut Oil: Use another high smoke point oil like vegetable, avocado, or canola. Add a little sesame flavor by using sesame oil.
